Fundação Terra Agora

Fundação Terra Agora is a Portuguese foundation dedicated to transforming land ownership into perpetual guardianship through regenerative conservation and soil health initiatives. It operates by securing family properties in Alentejo for future generations while supporting local entrepreneurs who regenerate mountain plots to build resilient economies based on landscape restoration.

• Mission: Cultivates a new relationship with the earth, shifting roles from owners to guardians under the leadership of local stewards.
• Governance: Utilizes an independent board of trustees and binding statutes to ensure land remains protected regardless of financial or operational changes.
• Approach: Separates funding from decision-making to prevent donor influence over strategic land use or governance structures.

The organization ensures that care for the land persists beyond individual lifetimes, securing a sustainable future for both people and ecosystems.
